Leviticus 23:15 "And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the waveoffering; seven sabbaths shall be complete: Even onto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meatoffering unto the L-RD. Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals:"
50 days after the firstfruits(the resurrection of the Messiah from the dead) the new meat offering of two wave loafs was to be offered. The two wave loaves symbolized the Jews and the Gentiles 50 days after the resurrection of the Messiah the disciples were endued with power from on high and the church (consisting of Jews first and then Gentiles also) began. The message of the completion of the blood atonement and the forgiveness of sin through the blood of the Messiah began to be spread throughout the world. Acts chapter 2 gives the account of Pentecost. The firstfruits was also on the first day of the week or Sunday as we know it today. Messiah rose on Sunday and the church was started on Sunday.

Passover, firstfruits, and waveloaf connection continued
continued from last week
As Passover is a foreshadowing of the Messiah's blood atonement so firstfruits is a foreshadowing.
"...ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest: And he shall wave the sheaf before the L-RD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it. And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto the L-RD..." Leviticus 23: 10b-12
The firstfruit was to be offered the day after the sabbath, on what we call Sunday. The firstfruit was a foreshadowing of the resurrection of the Messiah from the dead on the first day of the week.

Passover, firstfruits, and waveloaf connection
This is a three part series
In reading the scriptures the other day I was noticing the time span of The Messiah's crucifixion at the hands of the Gentiles and of the insistence of the Jews.(All are guilty before G-d. The Gentiles crucified the Messiah because the Jews wanted it done. The Messiah hanging on the tree could not have been accomplished without both the Jews and Gentiles taking part.)
The Messiah was crucified on Passover, a holy day that foreshadowed His sacrifice Leviticus 23:4,5 "These are the feasts of the L-RD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons. In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the L-RD's passover."In this memorial of G-d's deliverance of the nation from Egyptian bondage G-d foreshadowed his means of mans deliverance from sin. "Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversations received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ (Messiah), as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:" I Peter 1:18,19.
Just as the death angel passed over the Hebrew dwellings that had the blood on the door post so G-d will pass over judgement of the soul that has put their trust in the precious blood of the Messiah, for that person's sins were already judged on the tree and paid for by the blood of the Messiah.

Passover is coming
The next few posts are repeat from a series done on Passover.
Passover is almost here. All the leaven is being taken out of the house, every room swept for fear of a crumb left in the house. At sundown on Passover night the observance of G-d bringing the Jews out of the land of Egypt begins. It is a wonderful time to remember and to reflect at the symbolism in the Passover. Again we see a lamb being slain for the redemption of those that put their trust in G-d's word "when I see the blood I will pass over you..." Exodus 12:13 May you have the precious blood of G-d's perfect lamb,Yeshua The Messiah, applied to your sins . Just as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob looked forward to the blood being applied to their sins, we look back to the redemption having been completed through the shed blood of the Holy One, Yeshua The Messiah your King.

Superstition
One response to the message of the Bible is that the Bible is man made religion and the stories are superstition.
The dictionary definition of superstition is 1. an irrational but usually deep-seated belief in the magical effects of a particular action or ritual, especially in the likelihood that good or bad luck will result from performing it. 2. irrational and often quasi-religious belief in and reverence for the magical effect of particular actions and rituals or the magical powers of particular object.
This belief about the Bible can only come from a lack of knowledge of who G-d is and his purpose for us. Once a person starts reading the Bible they will start to learn about G-d and have a knowledge of him. "Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of G-d."
We know the stories in the Bible are not superstition simply because the stories are actual fact proven by life itself. An example- The Bible explains "The soul that sinneth it shall die" We can not get away from death no matter how many advancements science makes because we are sinners. We are going to die because of our sins. A sinner is in rebellion against G-d, hatred for the One that created us and the world.
Yet G-d has proven his love for us "...in that while we were yet sinners Messiah died for us" Isaiah tells us of this Messiah and his death. "Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of G-d, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray, we have turned every one to his own way; and the L-RD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.... " Messiah was sacrificed for our sins and his blood atonement was accepted of the Father. Messiah was raised from the dead"...when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days and the pleasure of the L-RD shall prosper in his hand." Who ever puts their trust in the blood atonement of the Messiah Yeshua will have their sins forgiven and a new life that is guided by the Messiah."Thous shalt guide me with thy counsel and afterward receive me to glory." Psalm 73:24
